Modelling Impacts of Weather and Climate Extremes

Modelling the impacts of weather and climate extremes involves the use of computer simulations to predict the effects of unusual weather or climate events on human society, infrastructure and the environment. These simulations can help inform decision-making around society-wide responses to extreme weather or climate events, such as policies and practices to reduce their impact. By modelling impacts of weather and climate extremes, it is possible to develop better strategies for reducing the damage caused by such events, thus improving public safety and economic stability.
